The British Columbia Forest Practices Code specifies planning and operational guidelines for each phase of timber harvesting operations around streams, lakes, and wetlands. This guide describes suitable practices to meet the objectives of the riparian management regulations within the Code, specifically the requirement to correctly identify streams on the basis of fish presence in order to ensure the protection of fish populations and habitats during all phases of forest harvesting. The guide defines the classes of streams distinguished for aquatic ecosystem and riparian zone management, identifies fish species that define a stream as fish-bearing under the Code, and describes factors influencing fish-stream identification such as stream reach, gradient, stream size, natural barriers, and fisheries sensitive zones. The guide concludes with methods for identifying fish streams, including measurement, sampling, data recording, and mapping procedures.

Small fish-bearing streams that are classified into class S4 under the British Columbia Forest Practices Code are not required to have a riparian reserve zone immediately adjacent to both sides of the stream, but are required to have an outer riparian management zone. This report describes a survey that assessed the condition of S4 streams in interior British Columbia to determine the effects of riparian forest harvest practices implemented under the Code. The purpose of the survey was to determine: the frequency of implementation of different types of streamside harvesting practices; whether those different practices meet the objectives of the Riparian Management Area Guidebook; and whether those practices result in apparent impacts to fish habitat. The survey investigated the extent of forest harvesting potentially affecting S4 streams, the prevalent riparian silvicultural treatments & levels of tree retention, the evidence for post-harvest stream channel disturbance, and the extent of windthrow & windthrow-related impacts to the stream. Results are presented & discussed for a review of 2,989 cutblocks harvested between 1997 & 1998 in six forest districts in the central interior plateau.

This guide is a technical support document intended to help forestry practitioners collect the information they need to prepare a silvicultural treatment regime and silviculture prescription in accordance with British Columbia Forest Practices Code legislation. It deals primarily with the collection & stratification of site-specific field data. After information on office preparation, stratification, plot establishment, and mapping procedures, the guide presents data collection procedures for silviculture prescription field forms. Copies of forms are included in the appendix. The data cover such matters as site characteristics, understorey & overstorey, soils, riparian & watershed values, soil & fire hazards, silvicultural systems & objectives, harvesting, forest health, stand tending, and forest resource values.

A stand management prescription is a document for describing actions to be carried out on a free-growing site to see that stand management activities are planned and implemented to maintain or enhance site productivity, to ensure that resource values are identified and taken into account, and to set out a series of stand management activities to produce a stand that meets the management objectives. This guide provides a logical sequence of steps on how to prepare and administer a stand management prescription in accordance with the Forest Practices Code of British Columbia. These steps include identification and collection of background information, setting of stand-level resource objectives, conducting fieldwork, preparation of the final prescription, production of the stand management prescription map, and administration.

The Clean Water Act (CWA) requires that wetlands be protected from degradation because of their important ecological functions including maintenance of high water quality and provision of fish and wildlife habitat. However, this protection generally does not encompass riparian areasâ€"the lands bordering rivers and lakesâ€"even though they often provide the same functions as wetlands. Growing recognition of the similarities in wetland and riparian area functioning and the differences in their legal protection led the NRC in 1999 to undertake a study of riparian areas, which has culminated in Riparian Areas: Functioning and Strategies for Management. The report is intended to heighten awareness of riparian areas commensurate with their ecological and societal values. The primary conclusion is that, because riparian areas perform a disproportionate number of biological and physical functions on a unit area basis, restoration of riparian functions along America's waterbodies should be a national goal.

This document is intended to provide guidance to forest & range managers in developing range use plans under the British Columbia Forest Practices Code. The first section describes range use plan content, district manager & agreement holder responsibilities, the requirements for public consultation, and the advertising of plan content. It also gives examples of the information regarding range use to be included in range use plans. The last section guides the district manager or designate in planning, authorizing, implementing, and maintaining Crown range development to ensure compliance with the Code. Appendices include a range use plan template, a plan amendment form, a plan approval checklist, a template of information provided by the district manager, and a sample range use plan.

The Forest Practices Code of British Columbia sets out new requirements for ensuring that previously harvested areas contiguous to proposed cutblocks are greened-up before those proposed cutblocks are harvested. The requirement is a means of controlling the removal of a stand until adjacent harvested cutblocks have begun to develop management attributes, with the objective of moderating the effect of additional harvesting in the area. This guide begins by noting where green-up requirements are applicable, then describes the basic requirements for greened-up blocks, the allowable variances from basic requirements, and the approval process to be followed to verify that green-up standards have been met. Includes glossary.
